The European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB) was founded in 1987. It publishes the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, organises meetings and biennially awards a John Maynard Smith Prize.[1]
Its objectives are to "Support the study of organic evolution and the integration of those scientific fields that are concerned with evolution: molecular and microbial evolution, behaviour, genetics, ecology, life histories, development, paleontology, systematics and morphology."[citation needed]
ESEB supports young researchers through sponsoring the annual EMPSEB (European Meeting of PhD Students in Evolutionary Biology) research conference for Ph.D. students.[2][3]
